    NEW AFRICA BUSINESS NEWS (NABN) Accra, Ghana– Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta has launched the National Security Telecommunications Service (NSTS), an integrated communications platform aimed at enhancing sharing of information between Kenya’s security agencies.

    “This will enhance co-ordination of security activities and operations, allow real-time information exchange, and allow our security agencies to better deal with emerging threats in the realms of cybercrime,” President Kenyatta said during the launch of NSTS at Embakasi Garrison in Nairobi County.

    With the new integrated system, the President said the military, police, intelligence and other security services will be able to communicate more effectively at both intra-agency and inter-agency levels. He pointed out that the new technological development will enable security agencies to collaborate better and improve response times to public safety needs.

    “This communication system is yet another strand in the golden thread of greater synergies and closer cooperation between Kenya’s security agencies; who now operate under a Multi-Agency framework,” the President said. Before the establishment of the new platform, each of the country’s security formations were using their own telecommunication network, an arrangement the President said led to duplication of infrastructure and made cross-agency communication difficult.

    Speaking to staff of NSTS, the President said the new platform will help address the challenge of geographical penetration faced by some of the individual agency’s networks. He said NSTS will provide secure communications to the country’s foreign missions as well as security teams operating outside the country adding that the new agency was established in line with the Executive Order No. 4 of 2020.

    President Kenyatta commended NSTS’s Board of Directors led by its Chairman, Chief of Defense Forces, General Robert Kibochi, for setting up the platform in a record six months.

    “I would like to thank all our Security Agencies; the Kenya Defense Forces, the National Police Service, the National Intelligence Service, the Kenya Prisons Service, the Kenya Wildlife Service, the Kenya Forest Service, and the Kenya Coast Guard Services, as well as the National Government Administrative Offices for their cooperation on this mission,” the President said.

    Defense CS Dr. Monica Juma, in whose docket the new agency rests, said NSTS will eliminate the risk of the country’s security being compromised due to the utilization of porous commercial communication networks.

    “The actualization of the concept of National Security Telecommunication Services network is a key milestone in providing a synchronized communication network of security agencies that will enable them combat threats against our national security. This will enhance the safety of our nation and security of our people,” Dr. Juma said.

    Chief of Defence Forces General Robert Kibochi noted that the new network is a critical milestone in the modernization of Kenya’s security sector saying the service will enhance the security and safety of the nation and its citizens.

    “This telecommunication service will deliver secure communication for our security agencies, national government, administrative offices and our diplomatic missions abroad creating interconnectivity of voice, data and video conferencing,” General Kibochi said.

    At the event also attended by Cabinet Secretaries Fred Matiang’i (Interior), Joe Mucheru (ICT) and Head of Public Service Dr. Joseph Kinyua among other senior Government officials, the President handed the new agency its founding instruments among them a certificate of incorporation and flag.
